NVIDIA is making video calling better. Video calling is now common-place than ever. This is due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. So, to help your calls look and sound better, the company has unveiled an AI-powered suite of tools that video call app developers can tap use.
Maxine powers a wide range of features that include background noise removal and resolution upscaling. Maxine can then adjust your camera’s focus to place you in the center. It can also reorientate your face and add virtual backgrounds. Further, you can also have an AI avatar replace your face on calls, while Maxine offers real-time closed captioning and translation through NVIDIA Jarvis.
The graphics giant says Maxine’s video compression can reduce the bandwidth for calls by up to 90 percent versus H.264! So, video calls could vacuum up much less of your data in the near future.
Maxine relies on NVIDIA’s Tensor Core GPU acceleration and runs in the cloud. So, you need one of NVIDIA’s latest graphics cards to harness these features if your video calling app of choice enables them. It will work on any device.
Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Skype, and Google Meet already have some of these features, but if they use nVidia Maxine, it would help them improve those functions.
This is a good move for nVidia, which just bought ARM holdings. This company is growing fast. They are already the global graphics leader by a long-shot. They are facing heavy competition from AMD though. AMD makes CPUs and GPUs, and now that nVidia bought ARM (a CPU maker), they are now on the same level as AMD in that regard. This is going to open up a whole new world of possibilities. Intel is basically completely frozen out of the market at this point. They better come up with something great, fast.
